A card without an image

There is an interesting challenge on at Bearly Mine Designs:

http://bearlymine-challenges.blogspot.co.uk/2012/06/challenge-39.html

After changing my mind about six times on what three items I was going to use, I finally came up with this combination:

The background paper was such a pretty paper and sat so beautifully on the card I decided to enhance it rather than cover it up with an image!   

I'll start with the three items that I chose from the diagonal:

Pearls - the pearls can be seen in the centre of the apricot flower
Flowers - take your pick - there are the ones in the background paper plus two pink roses and one apricot flower.
Lace - the lace across the card actually lies over the top of an apricot coloured grosgrain ribbon.

The apricot flower was originally white but was too harsh against the papers so I coloured it using my copics.  The pink roses are as they were bought.

I have uploaded this card as soon as I completed it, before I was tempted to add anything else to it and spoil it.  It is hard sometimes knowing when to stop and leave something be.  It is also hard not to put an image or sentiment on the front of the card but I don't feel this one needs it.

Hope you like it.
